Indian Markets Anticipate Flat to Positive Opening Amid Easing Crude Prices and Global Gains
Indian stock markets are expected to open flat to mildly positive on Friday, supported by easing crude oil prices and gains in Asian and US markets. The GIFT Nifty indicated a modest rise around 23,345 points, while Brent crude prices fell slightly but remained above $100 per barrel amid ongoing geopolitical concerns. Several IPOs, including Axiom Gas Engineering and Veegaland Developers, are active, with mixed investor sentiment influenced by global cues and oil price volatility.
